Binance Labs is among the backers of the $7.6 million round for Discord game Tatsumeeko

Tatsumeeko, a fantasy massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) published on Discord, has closed a $7.6 million seed funding round co-led by DeFiance Capital, Delphi Ventures and BITKRAFT Ventures. The capital will be used to further develop the game, which will be released on the Ethereum (ETC) and Solana blockchains, said a press release to CoinDesk.

Other participants in the round included Binance Labs, Animoca Brands, Dialectic and GuildFi.

The game, playable on Discord, will be available on mobile devices and web. Players can fight monsters, explore the virtual world and build communities. Upcoming features include main and side quests, co-op raids, player versus environment (PvE) battles, and player versus player (PvP) battles with rewards in the native IGS token.

The game comes from the team that created Tatsu.GG, which specializes in Discord bots that promote gamification and community engagement.

Early next month, Tatsumeeko will begin its first sale of Ethereal Plots, non-fungible digital land parcels that grant utility and special abilities to owners and others who interact with the elements. The launch follows the release of the Meekolony Pass NFT series on Solana in November, which brought in-game benefits and rewards, allowing holders to customize their avatars to a higher level than other players.

In the longer term, the game will be expanded to other social platforms such as QQ, WeChat and Telegram, as well as several communities on Ethereum and Solana.

“The success of any gaming experience increasingly depends on the community behind it, and few can boast the ability to build and grow a community like the Tatsumeeko team can,” said Jamie Wallace, Associate at BITKRAFT Ventures, in the press release. The foundation they have laid in this role through a Discord-first approach is a remarkable achievement in itself, and a fantasy role-playing game is a natural next step in the team’s mission to create experiences that bring digital communities together .”
